any one, what was to be his decision.
1t could not be told.
"Well, then, let me tell her now that
ii is adverse, so that she may not die in
the court room, under the eyes of her
enemies" said Mrs. Stephens, in tears.
Don't tell her that-tell her tc hope"
said the judge, hurrying away, with
tears In his own eyes; and so, sustained
by those manly, but unjsdicisl words,
Mrs. Stephens nerved the brave little
woman, who was fainting and weary,
while so near the goal, and when morn
ing came, sent her on her way to the
court alone.
The ladies of Washington, leaders of
society, and wives of the senators and
cabinet officers, were all in court, for
with the new evidence, it was thought
very possible that favorable Judgment
might be rendered. But Mrs. Stephens
sat alone in the parlor of the Ebbitt
House, awaiting the return of her
friend.
Before long four carriages loaded with
ladies, drove up, and Mrs. Gaines came
into the parlor, surrounded by crowd
of ladies, all congrstulating her, and in
the highest state of Joy. Mrs. Gaines
tottered forward, and fell into Mrs.
Stephenss arms, sobbing: "Oh, Ann,
Ann; I've won st last, and | owe it all
to your
The other ladies began to reproach
Mrs. Stephens for her absence from the
court.
Mrs. Gaines drew herself up. and said,
grimly:
NO, she did not go to-day, when she
felt sure of my success. She was there
when | lost, and when all the world had
abandoned mep'
Mrs. Gaines died, January 9th, 1885,
aged IS, in New Orleans, after one of
the most remarkable, and eventful lives
that ever fell to woman-s life full of
exaggerated contrasts, and romantic
history. Well might Mrs. Stephens, in
writing of it, call it real romance.

Differences of Opinion.
n. Y. Star.l

n. Y. Star.J
The Sun says, take the taxes off from
whisky and make ii cheap. The Star says,
take the tax off from coal and make it
cheap.
The Sun says, take the tax off from to-
bacco. The Star says, take it off from
wool.
The Sun says, do away with the taxes
which the liquor and tobacco dealers pay.
The Star says, do away with the taxes that
the children and women pay.
Children do not drink whisky, nor do
women drink much of it. The repeal OF
the whisky tax will not help any woman
who tolls day after day to feed and warm
her children. But if coal is cheap every
woman and child in the land will be COM
Portable.
Children do not smoke, nor do women
smoke much. The repeal of the whisky
tax will not help the shivering mother
nor the babe that sleeps under the blanket
that she has knitted. But if wool is cheap
every mother and babe in the land may be
well covered.
The Star thinks that well-ripened whisky
ia good when drank in moderation And
it Is a fine thing to think that the cheering
glass helps to support the government. A
Democrat is always willing to pay taxes
when he drinks glass Of whisky.
The Star thinks that full favored to-
bacco is a great solace. And it is a fine
| thing to think that every puff helps sup
port the government. A Democrat is al
ways willing to pay taxes when the com
forting fumes OF tobacco mount to his
| brain.
The Sun calls the whisky and tobacco
| taxes war taxes. Are taxes upon coal and
wool peace taxes We should call them
taxes that wage constant war upon the
comfort of homes, upon the labor OF in
| dustry, and upon the earnings OF the poor.
Taxes upon whisky and tobacco are
voluntary taxes. No one need pay any OF
them. But taxes upon coal and wool are
as inexorable as fate. No one can escape
| them.
| Is it possible that any one can be found
| who will take taxes off from whisky and
tobacco and leave them upon coal and
wool? Yes; the Sun is such an one. But
then the Sun is not a good thing to look

A Mlsslssippian Robbed
The following is from the New Or
leans States of the 20th:

The following is from the New Or
leans States of the 20th:
This morning between IL and u
o'clock Special Officer J. Brewer arrested
w. o. Toule at the Texas House, corner
of Esplanade and North Peters streets,
on the charge of Highway robbery and
grand larceny.
1t seems that last evening, at about 2
O'Clock, Marshal Brown, an aged man
from Mississippi, stranger to this city,
was accosted in front of the Jackson
square by the accused, w. o. Toule, and
also Jack Downing, who is still at large.
They invited him to take drink.
Brown accepted and was taken to Joe
Fosters barroom, corner of Jefferson
and Decatur street.
The drink being disposed of, Brown
was enticed into a game of euchre, at
which he lost. When he got up and
went to the bar to pay he was struck by
one of the accused and fell to the floor.
His assailant made grab for his pock-
ct book, containing 800 or $500. Brown
Immediately drew his pistol to protect
his life and money, but he alleged he
vas caught by the barkeeper who said
"Don't shoot that man. and at the
same time grabbed him, causing the two
men to escape with the Doodle.
This afternoon, Toule was Unidentified
at the Second Recorders Court, and an
affidavit ordered against him. As tc
Downing, the officers believe they will
shortly apprehend him. Toule was re
| manded In default of s., 900 bonds.

A. w. Cheever, excellent authority,
saws that one ounce of carbolic acid dis
solved in five gallons of water and sprayed
upon grape vines when the fruit Is small
has been found to check the disease known
as grape rot.
A small dash churn is easily made by
fitting a cover and dasher to gallon
crock This will churn two days cream
None of our domestic animals furnish
more healthful meat than the sheep.
The agricultural fairs of 1886 showed
more and better horses than ever before.
There is no branch of our improved stock
breeding as progressive and prosperous as
the draft horse interest, nor any one tnat
is as profitable.
If you have few dollars to spare, buy
a small flock of sheep and make them q
pen and yard, and procure good thor
oughbred ram two years old to run with
the ewes. Keep an account of the cost,
and if everything goes right the money
win be doubled within a twelvemonth.
So saws The Rural New Yorker.
The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1887-02-02

The left hand side, No. l, can be worked
up into boots, harness, belts, or for other
purposes with very little waste, while the
right hand side is badly damaged by the
deep cuts toward the middle.
The Leather Review gives the following
instructions for taking off and preserving
the hides; In taking off n hide or calf
skin never cut the throat erosswise in the
least Slit the skin from the brisket to
the tai, and from the brisket to the jaw;
then cut around each leg to the hoof.
Slit the hind leg from the hoof up directly
over the gambrel and the forward legs in
front, directly over the knee, to the top of
the brisket bone. This leaves the hide or
skin, then, in the proper shape for finish
ing skin the head and legs carefully, to
avoid cutting them; then, commencing at
the head, draw off the skin without
any further use of the knife, thereby
avoiding the holes and cuts that spoil SO
many calfskins. Some farmers use q
windlass to draw off the dairy skins and
others use a horse; but one or two men
can do it great deal more quickly and
easily. When taken off lay the hide OF
skIn fiat on the floor in a cool place where
The sun cannot shine upon it, and cover il
with salt, rather fine salt being better
than too coarse salt. Do not roll it up,
out let IL remain in the salt until you take
on another; then place that one upon the
other, salting freely as before, and so on
uhul You get enough to make quite a pile
then commence another pile in the same
manner Do not be afraid to use salt
Freely; what the skins do not require will
snake OH and can be used again.

Sheep in a Yard.

Professional sheep growers seldom turn
sheep into yard with other stock They
have learned by experience that it does
not pay. In the case of high priced
bloeded stock it has sometimes been
pretty dear experience.
The farmer who keeps but few sheep
and has never made special study of the
business cannot do better than to follow
the example of those who have: vet we
notice that it is the almost invariable Gus
tom with such farmers to allow their
sheep to take their chances among the
mixed stock of the common yard.
In most cases they are obliged to get
their living from the straw stack. or ricks
OF hay around which vicious horned cattle
hold sway. Many of the more tirnid of

Unless sheep is killed outright, the
owner is seldom aware of an injury when
II occurs. 1t is a matter of great wonder
to him, however, that he has no more
lambs from so many ewes. Looking at
the matter understandingly it is a greater
wonder that he has any, or that half his
ewes remain alive.
1t costs but little to have an extra yard
for the sheep opening off their own pen
or house. A few feet of lumber and few
hours time can be well expended here.
The man who makes proper provision for
his sheep in this way is not the man who
says: ''rhere amt no profit in sheep, any
way. l just keep few to eat up the odds
and ends, y as a farmer remarked TO the
writer only few days ago.-Indiana
Farmer.

Free Pass Philosophy.

Memphis Avalanche.
In the legislatures of Tennessee and
Arkansas an effort is being made to put
an effective bar upon the free pass sys-
tenn. In this State, while stout re-
sistence has been made, no one has yet
come out in open championship of the
custom. The Little Rock Ga-ette, how
ever, does not hesitate to defend it. The
| Gazette says it does not believe argument
is necessary to expose the absurdity of
efforts to legislate men into honesty /;
that il they are above the reach of cor
ruption neither money nor free passes
will corrupt them, and that if open TO
brides opportunity will be found on the
| sly for the bribe-giver to get in his
work. The whole of the Gdsette's objee-
ZION seems to be summed up in its con-
cluding paragraph:
Beyond all this the Gazette cares little about
the matter which is one for legislators to de-
termne for themselves. II they do not desire them
they can return them to the railroads, by legs-
laton prevent their acceptance by Legislators and
all other persons In official life But let them act
| eonseientiousy and not under the belief that by
abolishing the pass they will be deemed any more
upright than if their pockets were filled TO over
| flowing with the usually much coveted paste-
boards.
1t would appear, then, that the rail-
| road corporations are great benevolent
| institutions, and that when they give a
| legislator a free ride they expect moth
ing in return. 1t would appear that the
| legislator, when he accepts a free pass
looks upon it as the performance of a
solemn duty upon the part of the com
| pany. The fact is, the legislator who
accepts free pass is guilty of fraud, of
obtaining goods by false pretenses, un-
less he means to repay the company in
some way, and he is ungrateful unless
he finds an opportunity to do so. On
| the other hand, If he barters the power
given him by the people for railroad
| ticket, he is recreant to the trust they
repose in him. The safest and best way
is for legislators to decline passes them
selves and urge the passage of law
against their use by his brother legisla-
tors. Depend upon it, corporations
would not extend favors of that kind
unless they expected return with in
terest. They have kept up the practice
| for years and continue to indulge in it.
If the custom had been unproduetive OF
good to them it is safe to say it would
have been discontinued long ago. There
| fore, the Gazette is in error when it says
| legislators are not influenced by free
passes, but when for sale are bought
with cash on the nail; or the railroad
companies of the country are recklessly
extravagant with their favors.
